ORDINANCE #21, SERIES OF 1999 – Code Amendment Construction Work Hours Lee Cassin, environmental health department, said this code amendment was requested by Council and affects construction work hours in residential zones. This code amendment will allow construction from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. It includes lodge and lodge/residential zones. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Richards moved to adopt Ordinance #21, Series of 1999, on second reading; seconded by Councilman Paulson. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Markalunas, yes; Paulson, yes; Richards, yes; Vickery, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. RESOLUTION #49, SERIES OF 1999 – Vending Agreement/Farmer’s Market Mitch Haas, community development department, reminded Council last year was the first farmer’s market; which took place on Hopkins Street with 8 vendors. Haas told Council the market received an award from the 2 Aspen City Council Regular Meeting June 14, 1999 Historic Preservation Commission. Haas told Council he received lots of positive letters and phone calls about the market and the only complaints received were that there should be more vendors. Haas told Council this summer the number of vendors has almost doubled to 15; of these 7 will be residents of the Roaring fork valley. Staff has proposed a 3-year agreement so that the market group will not need to re-apply every year. Council may review and revoke the agreement if necessary. Haas said a requested addition is Aspen Valley Winery, who would like to apply for a tasting room license as well as be able to sell their product. The winery is located in Carbondale and uses Colorado grapes. Haas said staff feels this is consistent with agricultural products. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. Pat Ledo, Aspen Valley winery, told Council he needs permission from the city in order to get a tasting license from the State Licensing division. Ledo said he will also have to present a plan to fence or contain the area. He will have small tastes available as well as Aspen Valley Winery products to buy. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilman Markalunas asked about home baked goods. John Worcester, city attorney, said the health department requires goods for sale come from licensed kitchens. Haas noted that a steel drum band from Wisconsin would like permission to play two weekends in August. Worcester noted if music is allowed, the vending agreement will have to be modified. Councilman Vickery asked about the connection between farmers’ market and a band. Councilwoman Richards said it would liven up the area and maybe students from the MAA or blue grass groups could play at other times. Councilwoman Richards suggested amplified music not be allowed and this be left up to the special events committee or community development director. Councilwoman Richards noted that street performers do not need permission to play in the mall or other parts of the city. Councilman Paulson asked what happens if someone wants to be in the farmers’ market and they are turned down; can they come to Council for review. Worcester said if someone wants to join they do not have direct appeal to Council. Haas noted the farmers’ market group has reacted positively to the comments that more vendors were needed and another 3 Aspen City Council Regular Meeting June 14, 1999 larger produce vendor was needed, both of which have happened for this summer. Councilwoman Richards moved to adopt Resolution #49, Series of 1999, with a change to item (3) to allow music on a case by case basis as reviewed by the community development director; seconded by Councilman Markalunas. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #18, SERIES OF 1999 – Historic Designation – 2 Williams Way Councilman Markalunas moved to continue this to June 28; seconded by Councilman Paulson. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #20, SERIES OF 1999 – Design Review Guidelines Revisions Amy Guthrie, community development department, used slides to illustrate why the original design review guidelines were imposed and what staff is trying to accomplish with these amendments. Ms. Guthrie reminded Council garages had become a prominent feature of development and the design review guidelines require that garages be more recessed from the street or off an alley, if available. Ms. Guthrie said Ordinance #30, 1995 also addressed massing and tried to create secondary mass, based on historic architecture in Aspen. Ms. Guthrie said the community felt that two story entryways affected the scale of the building and were destroying pedestrian character of the neighborhoods. The design review guidelines require one-story entryways. Ms. Guthrie noted that the design review guidelines still leave a lot of architectural freedom. Ms. Guthrie said currently one can build a 6-foot wall around the property; the new guidelines require a lower fence in front of the building in order to have interaction between the street and the structure. Julie Ann Woods, community development director, reminded Council they requested the material section of this code amendment to be deleted. There was discussion about the street facing principal window. The intent in the existing ordinance was to give life and light to the street by requiring one of the more active rooms be the front part of the house. Council requested this be eliminated. Ms. Woods told Council notices of this amendment were sent 4 Aspen City Council Regular Meeting June 14, 1999 to the Board of Realtors and to local architects. Ms. Woods said this is a loosening up of the original ordinance with some clarifying language. There is an administrative review process; if an applicant cannot meet one of the design standards, they may either redesign or have an appeal with the design review appeal committee. Mayor Bennett opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Bennett closed the public hearing. Councilman Vickery said the original Ordinance #30 is set up for a gridded area, like the west end. The east end has no grid, no alleys and is there something to address the east side. Ms. Woods said a lot of the appeals heard by the design review appeal committee are from the east end and Oklahoma Flats when a design cannot be made to fit the standards. Councilman Vickery said there used to be a volume standard and calculating as if there were a floor in the high space. Councilman Vickery asked if there is a volume or bulk control on height or space. Ms. Guthrie said all the FAR regulations have been taken out of the design guidelines. Ms. Guthrie said staff is doing a study FAR and height requirements. Councilman Vickery said it seems like there is no rule and the city should revert back to the old rule if there is nothing else in place. Ms. Woods said many of the variances had to do with the FAR and the windows. Councilman Vickery said in these guidelines, there is no control over the vertical aspect of the FAR, which has been a very big issue. Councilman Markalunas noted that the illustrations are a great addition to the regulations. Councilwoman Richards said it is important that the FAR issue is looked at this year. Councilwoman Richards said she would also like staff to look at the rooflines and roof issues. Councilmembers Vickery and Markalunas agreed. Councilman Vickery said there used to be a mechanism that counted large ceiling spaces as if there was a floor every 9 feet. The volume piece of design review guidelines is a serious omission. Councilman Vickery suggested staff review the old volume standard and include it as an interim measure. Ms. Woods agreed this could be included as an interim measure. Ms. Woods recommended the ordinance become effective August 1 to give designers time for changes. Ms. Guthrie explained this FAR calculation was taken out of the code in 1995 when Ordinance #30 was adopted. Ms. Guthrie said in this code if one had a vaulted ceiling, at some point there was a FAR penalty for the air 5 Aspen City Council Regular Meeting June 14, 1999 space. The code currently contains nothing about this FAR penalty. Councilman Vickery said the windows above 9 feet also had a volume control with penalty. Ms. Woods said this is still in the existing code and can be rolled into this ordinance. Ms. Guthrie said one of the design standards states one cannot have windows that carry through floors. In the existing ordinance if you want that kind of window, you get a penalty. In the reviewed ordinance, the floor area penalty has been deleted and one cannot have these types of windows without a variance. Mayor Bennett recommended a combination of you cannot have these types of windows and if you get a variance, the FAR penalty counts. Ms. Guthrie told Council everyone who asked for a variance and did not receive it, redesigned their project. Council agreed to reinsert the issue related to area and bulk. Councilman Vickery agreed it is awkward for designers and builders to have rules changing in the middle of the season. Councilman Vickery suggested in the future, staff make changes in the building rules in the middle of the winter. Mayor Bennett asked if the city is allowing variances for light wells even when a house is south facing with no recessed areas. Bob Blaich, P & Z chair, told Council the review committee looks at all conditions of the property, siting, how livability is affected, and the neighborhood. Councilwoman Richards moved to adopt Ordinance #20, Series of 1999, on second reading reinserting the issues regarding volume and bulk calculations and the FAR calculations and have the effective dates of the Ordinance August 1, 1999; seconded by Councilman Vickery. Councilman Paulson said without stricter FAR controls, Aspen is losing its community. Small scale is being replaced with huge structures. Roll call vote: Councilmembers Markalunas, yes; Paulson, no; Richards, yes; Vickery, yes; Mayor Bennett, yes. Motion carried. Councilman Vickery moved that Council direct staff to review the method of calculating height and volume in the 1995 code that was removed in 1995 for remedial application to amend Ordinance #20 as an interim until such time as the FAR question can be addressed; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. 6 Aspen City Council Regular Meeting June 14, 1999 RESOLUTION #52, SERIES OF 1999 – Reaffirmation of City’s Long Range Housing Goals Mayor Bennett read this resolution into the record. Councilman Vickery moved to adopt Resolution #52, Series of 1999; seconded by Councilwoman Richards. Councilman Vickery noted this resolution mandates building about 70 units per year for the next 10 years, which is a very ambitious goal. This will almost double the amount of affordable housing in the community. Councilman Paulson said he is not against housing but is concerned about the precious resource of open space. Councilman Paulson said he hopes the community finds a way to build housing without encroaching on existing open space. All in favor, motion carried.

ORDINANCE #25, SERIES OF 1999 – Burlingame Ranch Rezoning 12 Aspen City Council Regular Meeting June 14, 1999 Councilman Paulson moved to read Ordinance #25, Series of 1999; seconded by Councilman Hershey. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE N0. 25 (SERIES OF 1999) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO, ASSIGNING BURLINGAME RANCH TO THE CONSERVATION (C) AND RURAL RESIDENTIAL (RR) ZONE DISTRICTS. PARCEL NO. 2735-031-00-805 Chris Bendon, community development department, showed Council maps of the recently annexed 186.8 acres parcel. The original Burlingame parcel continued another 37 acres which was left in the county. This tract is proposed for a single-family house in the county. Bendon showed both the existing county zoning and the proposed city zoning. The county zoning was split between AFR2, a 2 acre residential, and AFR10 which is one home for 10 acres. Staff proposes zoning Conservation, which is a 10 acre residential and RR, rural residential, which is 2 acre residential. This is very similar to county zoning. Bendon told Council P & Z recommended approval of this zoning in a 6 to 1 vote. Bendon noted at the last P & Z meeting, one of the commission members stated he felt uneasy about this zoning. Bendon noted a P & Z issues is access to the back bowl. Bendon told Council the city has to adopt zoning of an annexed parcel within 90 days. Bendon pointed out the flat developable areas of the parcel, which will be zoned RR. Julie Ann Woods, community development department, explained this is a placeholder-zoning representative of existing zoning. Ms. Woods said when a development application comes through, that parcel will be rezoned. Bendon said the MAA seasonal housing application includes a request for zoning to multi-family. Bendon said these proposed zones are the two least dense zone districts and most congruent with county zoning. Councilman Paulson said he does not like the zoning line on the back bowl and said it should conform more to the county’s zoning. The RR line should 13 Aspen City Council Regular Meeting June 14, 1999 be farther down the bowl. Councilman Paulson said he would also like to eliminate the panhandle to the west. Councilman Paulson said development on the back bowl will eliminate wildlife corridors. Mayor Richards noted the city is still in negotiations with adjacent property owners and with environmental groups on development patterns on this property. Jim Curtis, representing the MAA, showed a map with slopes on the east parcel with division of slopes greater than 21 percent and less than 21 percent. Curtis agreed with changing the zoning line to slopes greater than 21 percent. Curtis said the panhandle to the west appears necessary to accommodate a road, but that is not the case. There are some flat areas in the panhandle that could accommodate development, but that parcel is not necessary for a road. Council agreed on making the RR zoning smaller on the back bowl and following the 21 percent contours. Councilman Markalunas moved to adopt Ordinance #25, Series of 1999, on first reading instructing staff to return with RR zoning associated with the 21 percent line and to eliminate the panhandle; seconded by Councilman Hershey. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Paulson, yes; Hershey, yes; Markalunas, yes; Mayor Richards; yes. Motion carried. Councilman Markalunas moved to instruct staff to make arrangements to set up as time dictates whatever is required with the BOCC, the housing board and any interested private parties like Tim Semrau and Jake Vickery, to consider changes to the housing guidelines that are appropriate to address concerns expressed, like housing caps, etc., and unless the housing survey would preclude this to set a target date to achieve the changes within 90 days; seconded by Councilman Paulson. Mayor Richards said the housing office is doing a wage survey to determine if the categories are appropriate and if the asset and income guidelines are appropriate. Mayor Richards said the guidelines will look to the greatest fairness and to cover the broadest number of goals. The existing guidelines will stay in place until the survey is completed and until Council has a work session. Councilman Paulson said he feels every project should be split into 25 percent groups, each category would be one of the percents. Councilman Paulson said the private developer needs to look at what it will take for them to make money with RO units and also including category 1 units. 14 Aspen City Council Regular Meeting June 14, 1999 Councilman Markalunas said he would like this meeting within 90 to 180 days depending on the timing of the housing survey. Councilman Markalunas said he is not satisfied with the existing guidelines but does not want to leave staff and the community with no guidelines. Mayor Richards said she is also concerned about housing production. This may be a larger housing summit than just the guidelines; there is also a new housing director to be hired. City Manager Margerum suggested sending a survey to the BOCC, Council and housing board to establish an agenda in order that all issues are covered. Ms. Margerum said she needs to know what issues of the guidelines Council wants covered. Councilman Markalunas’ issues are RO pricing, is the mid-point of category 3 as a restriction in the AH zone, is that going to prohibit free market production or how will the city get category 2 production from private developers. Another issue is are the categories divided right based on actual income. Councilman Markalunas said he would like to see consistent guidelines within the city and the county. All in favor, motion carried. Councilman Paulson moved to continue the meeting to June 21 at 5 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Markalunas. All in favor, motion carried. Council left the meeting at 8:10 p.m. Kathryn S.
